An Offer You Can’t Refuse—Israel’s Latest Veiled Thermo-nuclear Threat against a War-Weary West

“Our armed forces are not the
thirteenth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third…We
possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them
at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European
capitals are targets for our air force…We have the capability to take
the world down with us, and I can assure you that that will happen
before Israel goes under.”

–—Martin Van Creveld, a professor of military history at Israel’s Hebrew University.

“What
would serve the Jew-hating world better as repayment for thousands of
years of massacres but a nuclear winter? Or invite all those tut-tutting
European statesmen and peace activists to join us in the ovens? For the
first time in history a people facing extermination while the world
either cackles or looks away have the power to destroy the world. The
ultimate justice?”

–Professor David Perlmutter, writing in the Los Angeles Times, April 7, 2002

Despite the objections many people
(rightly) entertain against the manner Italians are unfairly and
inaccurately portrayed in gangster films such as The Godfather,
nevertheless there are invaluable lessons to be learned from them
concerning the inner workings of organized crime interests, and in
particular how these interests use coded language when conveying certain
ideas.

The reader will recall how in the
aforementioned film, a young Michael Corleone is describing to his
fiancée Kay Adams how his father ‘helped’ singer Johnny Fontaine with
his career. Johnny–Vito Corelone’s godson—is locked into a contract with
a particular band leader and wants out. Vito Corleone ‘reasons’ with
the band leader on Fontaine’s behalf to let Johnny go by making him ‘an
offer he can’t refuse’.

‘An offer he can’t refuse’…sounds great, on the surface. A deal so good it’s to die for, no pun intended.

The problem is that it means what it seems to mean and yet means much more.
A person has to be ‘plugged in’ when doing the math of translating the
phrase if he or she is to arrive at the right spot on the map, and there
is no ‘coming up short’ in understanding what it means. The difference
between the two is literally as stark as that between life and death.

And so, when Michael is pressed to
explain the meaning of this particular phrase, the ugly truth concerning
how it all really took place clashes with the sterile, innocuous
depiction the original language evoked, leaving his fiancee stunned and
speechless.

Now, as much as some will look at such
examples as just the typically irrelevant sensationalism of Hollywood,
the fact of the matter is that such vignettes are more real than most
people living in the civilized world would like to realize, and
particularly when it comes to governments trying to convey certain
ideas, both to their rivals and their friends.

That’s right—just as thieves can be
‘thick’ with each other in choosing to convey messages in a dialect
understandable only amongst the initiated, so too will governments
engage in such telepathy, where the use of clear, unambiguous language
may have negative secondary results amongst a public that must be kept
in the dark if things are to ‘function’ properly.

One such example took place recently
with a news item appearing on the website of the Israeli newspaper
Yediot Ahronot (ynet) one of the largest in the Jewish state. Entitled IDF submarine fleet bans dual citizenship, it reads in part thus–

The IDF now demands that new
candidates for service in Israel’s submarine fleet waive their foreign
citizenship in order to join the elite unit.

The demand to concede one’s dual
citizenship is made at certain IDF combat units and for posts requiring
high security clearance. Submarine fleet recruits receive a notification
stating they must renounce their foreign citizenships in order to
qualify for the prolonged training, as part of their security
screenings.

The recent move raised strong
opposition among fleet reserve officers who claim that the new
requirement will limit the number of volunteers to the unit.

“This is absurd. Many excellent
recruits hold dual citizenship but wish to serve in an elite unit such
as submarine fleet,” an ex-officer said. “In a country that fights for
every recruit, especially for elite units, this demand should not be
made. Soldiers serve for only a few years, and must not pay by losing
the foreign citizenship that can be used later in life.” Security
officials say that in recent years there was a decline in number of
units that demand a foreign citizenship waiver as part of the security
clearance process. The criteria for receiving a security clearance are
decided by the units, the Shin Bet and the National Security Council,
according to the level of exposure to classified materials during one’s
service.

In many combat units, candidates are required to declare any foreign citizenship, but not to renounce it…

And, just to drive the point home in a
manner ‘up close and personal’ concerning what the real focus of the
coded language is, the article ends with–

According to the international media, IDF submarines operate in foreign waters, far from Israel’s borders…

…“Far”, as in right off the coasts of
America and Europe, countries that just (by pure coincidence, for sure)
happen to entertain differences of opinion with Israel concerning the
much screeched-for war against Iran.

Doubtless most will read the piece, shrug their shoulders and say ‘Big deal…Sounds reasonable…After all, this is national security and a country has every right to do such things...’

Which is exactly how those in Israel’s
political and intelligence apparati want it to be viewed by the general
public. Harmless. Innocuous. Reasonable. Slightly boring. Hey, what time’s the big game tonight?

But, a different matter altogether for
those—namely foreign governments and their intelligence
services—schooled and fluent in that peculiar dialect known as political
Gangsterese. For them, just the article title alone contains
an entire Encyclopedia of latent, hidden and coded meaning in it. Such
an article, published in an online (meaning immediately accessible in
all 4 corners of the globe) Israeli newspaper discussing how crews
working on Israeli submarines will NOW be forced to relinquish any other
citizenship they might possess in favor of just one is Israel’s way of
starting a discussion within the intelligence services of various
governments that goes something along the lines of–

Q–Israel has just initiated a new
policy requiring her sub crews to renounce their foreign citizenship. As
the article states, there is opposition to this within certain IDF
circles as it severely limits those willing to join—WHY is she doing
this?

A—The most logical explanation is that the Jewish state wants individuals on her subs who see themselves as Israelis 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and nothing else.

Q—They already DO see themselves
like this, so it is a moot point. Why NOW? Israel has had subs for
decades but only NOW is requiring something like this for ‘security’
purposes?

A—The most logical explanation is
that in the event these subs are ordered to do something against another
country deemed an act of war, she wants to make sure there are no
lingering ‘loyalties’ to the particular nation being attacked. Dual
citizenship means divided loyalties that may result in hesitation when
an order is given.

Q—What kind of ‘orders’?

A—Like sinking an American aircraft
carrier stationed in the Persian Gulf and killing all 5,000 people
onboard in order to blame it on Iran and get a war started.

And even though this is definitely NOT a
discussion likely to take place around the average dinner table in
America, all can be rest assured it IS something discussed at a meeting
of the National Security Council as Obama & co are discussing the
latest demands from Israel concerning an attack on Iran.

Remember, an Israeli submarine is not an
army platoon. It is not the Border Patrol. It is not an Israeli F16. It
is not a tank crew, a torpedo boat or anything else that might be
characterized as ‘conventional’ in terms of military hardware. It is
silent death, projection of power and an inherently different military
creature altogether for the simple reason that due to its ‘by way of deception, thou shalt do war’ properties and capabilities, it is the most dangerous weapon a country has in its arsenal…

..and particularly if that country is
nuclear-armed, possesses an apocalyptic mindset and has an itchy trigger
finger, like Israel.

What was it former Israeli Minister of
Defense Moshe Dayan said, that Israel should be like a ‘mad dog, too
dangerous to bother?’

Yeah, that definitely fits.

One Israeli submarine loaded with nukes
could destroy the ENTIRE eastern seaboard of the United States or most
of Europe’s major cities (as Israeli military historian Martin Van
Creveld once intimated) in the space of just a few minutes. And make no
mistake about it–this is exactly the message Israel is attempting to
convey to the same governments of the US and Europe currently dragging
their feet viz-a-viz a war against Iran.

Now, the chances of there actually being
a ‘conflict’ of loyalties in and of itself is not something Israel is
particularly worried about. As political events are proving on a daily
basis, when dual-citizenship American Jews are forced to choose between
Israel’s interests and those of America, in 11 out of 10 cases they
choose those of Home Sweet Home, and we don’t mean Alabama. America is
going bankrupt fighting Israel’s wars for her and yet there is no
substantive opposition to it from American Jews. The cat is out of the
bag concerning Jewish interests in near-total control of the Executive
and legislative branches of the US government through organizations such
as AIPAC, the American Jewish Committee and half a dozen other groups,
and yet the protests against such facts on the part of American Jews is
barely audible. Jonathon Pollard, the Jewish American who spent 18
months spying for Israel, selling to the Jewish state America’s most
sensitive national defense secrets said it best when being interrogated
by Lt. Ron Olive, the naval officer who arrested him—

“America should never give security
clearances to Jews, because when called upon, we will do whatever we are
asked to do for Israel.”

And Israel knows this all too well, but
that is not the point. She is not worried about ‘dual loyalties’ in the
least. The object of this exercise is to communicate certain ideas to a
war-weary West, no different than a terrorist who has taken hostages
putting a gun to the head of one of them while making demands.

Those having difficulty understanding
why Israel would be willing to go to such lengths—threatening America
and the West with nuclear war because of their reluctance in attacking
Iran—are hobbled in their lack of understanding the mindset of the
Jewish state and her long term objectives.

Israel is not worried about ‘Iranian
nukes’. What is at stake here is ‘Israel’s destiny’ as discussed time
and again by her leaders, both political and religious. Her entire
existence is explained and justified by her holy books, principally the
Torah, which are VERY CLEAR in their description of what ‘the Jewish
State’ is supposed to encompass—everything between the Nile and
Euphrates rivers, meaning ALL of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan,
parts of Egypt and northern Saudi Arabia, and Iraq—almost right up to
the Iranian border.

Such biblically-inspired adventurism
therefore can only be achieved in the absence of any organized,
substantive opposition. The long-sought Zionist goal of pushing out
hundreds of millions of Arabs in order to create ‘Eretz Y’Israel’ cannot
take place if there is another strongman in the neighborhood, meaning
Iran.

Therefore, when Israel talks about the
‘existential threat’ Iran poses to the Jewish state, THIS is what she
means—prevention of Israel’s borders as described in the bible.
Therefore, she considers anything hindering the realization of her own
‘divine destiny’ as nothing short of an apocalypse in its own right and
therefore warranting such coercive action as threatening nuclear war
against countries such as America and Europe either standing in her way
or otherwise not cooperating.

In short, this was no ‘human interest’
piece coming out of one of Israel’s biggest news sources. It was not
‘filler’ on a ‘slow news day’. Israel knows all too well that the
intelligence agencies of every government on the planet use foreign
media as the first source in acquiring intelligence forecasts and for
that reason, decided to use this as the vehicle for conveying this
threat rather than having Netanyahu call the American President and tell
him in clear language—

‘Best get busy bubba gettin’ those
boots on the ground in Iran or we are going to have one of our subs
parked right off your coast send you a little ‘shock and awe’ of your
own that’ll then be blamed on ‘the Ayrabs’ by our cousins who own your
media lock, stock and barrel, at which point whatever reservations you
might have about attacking Iran will be drowned out in a chorus of
absolute pandemonium in your own country that’ll make the chaos of 9/11
seem like the Sound of Music.’

There is nothing new or novel about any
of this. With semi-regularity Netanyahu, Barak or some mouthpiece for
the Jewish state does an interview with some Israeli or Jewish-owned
newspaper in America where they speak in coded language meant to convey
the same ideas. They speak apocalyptically, discussing the ‘destruction’
of America and how Iran’s nuclear program is not just a threat to
Israel, but indeed to the ‘entire world’. And again, all of it in the
same Gangsterese dialect meant to convey the idea that Israel—the mad
dog of the Middle East–will go to any lengths necessary in order to get
her way. Like any professional extortionist, she is holding a gun to the
head of America and the West and is making an offer they can’t refuse,
which is to go to war against Israel’s enemies or have their brains
blown out all over the place.

And everyone can just forget about the
idea that this is a ‘bridge too far’ for Israel. In 1963 she had an
American president murdered who stood in her way of becoming a nuclear
power. In 1967 she attacked a United States ship for 2 hours, killed 34
and wounded almost 200 others trying to sink her so that the murderous
act could be blamed on her Arab enemies, namely Egypt. In 1983 she
facilitated the bombing of the US marine barracks in Lebanon, resulting
in the death of almost 250 US servicemen. In 1991 she plotted to have
George H.W. Bush assassinated at the Madrid Peace Conference in order to
blame it on ‘Arab terrorists’. On September 11, 2001 she had her
intelligence agents in place to film the towers coming down in New York,
who–when discussing it a few months later on an Israeli talk
show—revealed that they had been sent to ‘document’ the event.

And, last but certainly not least, we
have a Jewish publisher in America recently writing candidly about how
Israel should send her agents to assassinate Obama because of his
recalcitrance in attacking Iran.

But if all these examples are not enough
in fleshing out a picture of the veiled threat of nuclear terrorism
against the US, then let a 68-page report drawn up by the U.S. Army
School of Advanced Military Studies do the painting for us. Released
just one day before the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the report, authored
by 60 commissioned officers in the US Army characterized Israel as a
“well-armed and well-trained 500-pound gorilla”. Concerning Israel’s
intelligence services Mossed (the same agency that would be intimately
involved in directing what this ‘well-armed, well-trained 500 lb
gorilla’ might do) the agency of death and destruction was characterized
as “Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act.”

Therefore, given that it is the motto of Israel’s assassination agency Mossad that ‘By way of deception thou shalt do war’
coupled with the fact that there is no better means of doing this than a
modern, nuclear-armed submarine at a time of unprecedented tension in
the Persian Gulf region, all persons would be wise to grasp immediately
the coded language being used by the Jewish state in the recent press
release and to see such language (and the sentiments fueling them) as
the ‘existential’ threat that it is–not just to countries such as
America and Europe tasked with destroying all enemies declared to be
such by the Jewish state, but as well–to the rest of the world.

More important however is what must be done in the aftermath of such recognition, namely that it be dealt with accordingly.
The real ‘offer’ that can’t be refused is the continued existence of 6
billion people inhabiting planet earth, a prospect being made more and
more impossible by the mad dog behavior of this tiniest of
states—Israel. All human history has now come down to this, the ultimate
do or die/ us or them moment.

Israel recognizes this fact. Unfortunately the rest of the Western world has yet to.

Therefore, since it has been the policy
of the United States and many other countries of the West to not
negotiate with terrorists, let this policy then be applied RIGOROUSLY as
pertains the Jewish state and her various ‘offers’ that can’t be
refused. To do any less is to consign oneself to a lifetime of
shakedowns, extortion, imprisonment and eventual death, as the terrorist
entity eventually kills the hostage once his demands have been met,
only to have the entire process begin again when new adventures are
schemed and hatched by those who have embraced religiously-inspired
political terrorism on a grand scale as a divine right of sorts.

Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness on a global scale…

Now truly, as far as the rest of the civilized world is concerned, that is an offer that can’t be refused.
